Maritime & Ocean Engineering
Advancing discovery, mobility, and resilience across the world’s oceans
The ocean is essential to global transportation, climate, food systems, and security. MIT engineers are designing vehicles, sensors, robots, and infrastructure that expand how we understand and operate in marine environments while supporting safer shipping, more resilient coastlines, and the responsible use of ocean resources.
